Summary
Nothing in life is certain, except death, taxes, and Alastor and Vox. Somehow, no matter what universe they’re in, the two manage to find each other.
Alastor is nine years old when V and his fancy family move into the house at the end of his street. They’re not at all how Alastor expects. He’s never met anybody as cold and controlling as V’s parents, and he’s never met anyone he’s liked as much as he likes V. They quickly become friends after Alastor saves V from a cruel punishment in the Louisiana sun, and V finds himself welcomed into a family where nobody yells at each other, nobody gets hit for misbehaving, and where he can be free for the first time in his life.
What kind of men can two boys become when found family and love disrupt the cycle of isolation that creates monsters?
(A queer coming-of-age exploration of how connection, trauma, and environment shape who we become, told with grounded psychological realism. A litfic-style narrative following Alastor and Vox from childhood into adulthood as found family rewrites their trajectories.
A companion piece to It’s Not Murder, imagining what might have happened if the two hadn’t grown up in isolation, but readable as standalone.)

Summary
“And you?” Alastor asks. “Do you care because it affects you, or because you believe it should?”
Vincent hesitates. His claws tighten around the cigarette, then relax. “Both,” he admits. “I think.” he glances back at Alastor. “Is that bad?”
Alastor never intended to care. Unfortunately, Vox proves that intention is not the same as immunity.
or: my take on what happened between them, long before anyone called it love.

Summary
A Radiostatic AU. Vox is an anxious nobody at the bottom of Hell's corporate food chain - an IT worker, stuck in the basement floor of Hell's biggest and most powerful company. He's accepted his fate, as dull and uneventful as it may be, even if - in the quiet hours of the night - he secretly longs for more. But when Vox catches the eye of the company's magnetically charming CEO, Alastor, and is offered the role of assistant, everything begins to change.
An unconventional love story exploring the intense relationship between a dominant and his TV-headed submissive, how power and control can provide care and relief, and how two demons, both carrying private torments, might find healing in each other - against all odds.
...And maybe violate workplace conduct in the process.

Summary
“Because you’re beautiful.” But beautiful couldn’t begin to describe him. It never did. “Men would go to war for you.”
And it’s the truth. It’s the most truthful Kazuha has ever been.
Scaramouche was the type of beauty men would go to war for.
The type Kazuha would go to war for.
One so beautiful, men across the country would race for his hand in marriage. To be so stupidly blinded, they would haul gold and and riches with them in hopes of swaying his resolve. All that only to be trapped under an oath sworn by the gods that were anything to happen to Scaramouche, they would sacrifice their lives for him. Because he was not just worth the jewels and rubies they brought, but more.
Scaramouche was worth their lives.
Kazuha grows up believing love and freedom can never co-exist. That is until he meets Scaramouche and realizes the two have always been intertwined.
